This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
As we are trudging through lists of songs from various sources, as well as published songs on the internet, everyday there is a this ‘A haa’ moment when one comes across unheard, or heard-long-back-but-now-lost songs. These moments make this search and this journey worth its while. And the notable point is that these wonderful songs, now rare and obscure, mostly come from films which themselves are obscure. Their lack of success on the box office relegated their memory and the related information into depths of anonymity, and the music of such films also went the same way. The great consolation is projects like this blog, and the internet connectivity, that has provided the music lovers with a via media to publish and share the music that sits on forgotten vinyl records or music cassettes, probably stowed away in storage that is not often visited. These valued publications, and the ‘A haa’ moments they generate almost on a daily basis are a wonderful impetus for music lovers everywhere.

“Miss Bombay” (1957) was not about a female beauty queen, but about a bus called “Miss Bombay”, which is driven by Ajit in the movie. This movie was produced by N C films and it was directed by Kedar Kapoor. The movie had Ajit, Nalini Jaiwant, Bhagwan,Tiwari,Rehman,Vijaylaxmi,Bhudo Adwani,Pravin Pal etc in it. This movie may have led to some fan following among other B grade movie makers, because movies with similar titles, viz. Miss Punjab Mail, Miss Toofaan Mail etc. were produced the next year.

Here is a drunkard song that begins with the line ‘Main nashe mein hoon”. No, this song is not the title song ( Mujhko yaaron maaf karna main nashe me hoon) of “Main Nashe Mein Hoon” (1959) sung by Mukesh. This song is from another movie that was released in the same year.

Though I have discussed as many as seven songs from “Nastik” (1954), I was not aware of this song till a few hours ago.
This song is a bhajan cum public lament. In this song, Ajit, Usha Kiran and others are sitting in a temple in front of the idols of gods and Ajit sings this song. The song states that non believers tend to blame God for their misdeeds, but their efforts to give a bad name to God cannot succeed. God’s flag will always fly high, come what may.

Mainstream A grade movie makers confined themselves to movies on mainstream subjects- viz boy falling into love with girl and singing songs routine. The tales from mythology, Folk tales, arabian nights tales etc , which were such rich sources for stories were regarded as commercially risky propositions and as such were not ventured into. It was left to small budget small time B grade movie makers to make movies on these subjects.
